Ozzie Albies To Remain In Two-Hole Friday
1 year agoEven with the Colorado Rockies starting right-hander Dinelson Lamet on Friday, Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker is planning to keep second baseman Ozzie Albies in the second spot in the batting order. Out of the two-hole on Thursday, Alvies went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI. Before Thursday's game, first baseman Matt Olson had been occupying the two-spot all year, but the 29-year-old left-handed slugger has hit .226 (12-for-53) in the month of June. Until further notice, Albies may be in the two-hole with Olson down at No. 5. Albies has hit .326 (15-for-46) with two doubles, four home runs, 11 RBI and two stolen bases in 13 games in the month of June.
